The Technical Evaluation Committee of the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has given the “clearance” to establish three more government medical colleges in Tamil Nadu.
The State government had applied seeking permission to establish the colleges in Krishnagiri, Nagapattinam and Tiruvallur districts.
Health Secretary Beela Rajesh on Monday made a presentation to the committee in New Delhi.
The final decision on establishing the colleges will be taken by the Empowered Committee of the Union Health Ministry, official sources said.
“The Technical Evaluation Committee has cleared the proposal. Officials had to give a number of reasons for seeking medical colleges in these districts. For Nagapattinam, the emphasis was laid on the district having a long coastal line, and the fact that it was affected during the tsunami, and cyclones,” a reliable source said.
The source added that the Chief Minister has allotted land for all three proposed medical colleges.
